A.L.T. Alternative (face) Lifting Technique - a natural face-lifting massage

[Hanne]

A.L.T. face-lift technique developed by Stanley Rosenberg.
His theory is that ones face reflects all that the body and mind experience, stress for instance manifesting itself as tensions in facial muscles.

The massage claims to :
Give a healthier and more vibrant skin
Increase the skins elasticity
Help make asymmetrical faces more less asymmetrical (working the muscle tensions that increase asymmetry)
Improving the function of ones jaw (in cases with improper bite, TMJ syndrome, a receding or protruding jaw, grinding of teeth at night, and other related problems)
Relieve headaches and migraines.

etc etc..

I'm contemplating trying it, but would like to heard from others who have tried it?

I just wanted to post that I tried it, and I really liked it.

The massage was a bit like a facial 'sports massage' ..no light strokes here.. she really worked the facial muscle tissue..as well as the muscles in my shoulders, neck and throat where I had tension..

She massaged with her knuckles (I know it sound.. different).. applying a lot of pressure which 95% of the time wasn't uncomfortable..

Half way through she let me compare the left and right side of my face (she had done one side only) and it was actually visible..my cheekbone was more defined, my jawline tighter and I had a really great glow.

The massage ended rather funnily.. she pulled my ears!

I'm definitely returning and incorporating the massage into my beauty routine.
